I have been married for 27 years. I am a mother of five; two have graduated from college, two teens are in high school.

I have been a volunteer firefighter for 20 years. I now serve as fire dept's Instructor: of fire courses, fire prevention, and medical. I also do most of the secretarial work and grant applications.

I work part-time as a Registered Nurse. I have Fibromyalgia, which causes constant pain; and foggy memory. Thus, I cannot work full-time. It is even difficult to even read some days, the pain and fog is so bad!

I am an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) volunteer, to assist my community.

I enjoy reading, genealogy research, computer games, and travel. I have several dogs; really love them. Also a small aquarium (so calming to sit and watch the fish!)

I live on a small farmette in rural area of Madison County, AR. We raise enough beef for our needs; and odten a pig. Chickens for eggs, etc...
